well....that happened! what the hell. i don't even understand what kind of crazy lizzie had going on. shiitake.

i'm so so annoyed that no one has found each other yet. some of these episodes are good, but all this stuff seems pretty unnecessary and isn't advancing the plot at all. just get the fork on with it. none of these people are very interesting without the others. even an entire episode of darryl is a bit much for me.

There were definitely warning signs, weren't there? Although the adults were probably too preoccupied to notice, not as familiar with Lizzie's personality as her parents would be, and her sister too young to have that kind of perspective. PTSD? A psychotic break? Whatever, it was some kind of coping mechanism from the horror of her circumstances, to think of the zombies as her friends. Maybe. What a really sad episode! The part with the wildflowers reminded me of the end of Of Mice and Men - *sob*!!!

These more reflective episodes are a bit hit and miss, but I thought this was a good one, especially compared to the Beth and Daryl ep.

Me too.

Agreed.

These in-between episodes are much better than the slow paced soap opera of season 2. I would like the pace to be a *little* bit faster, but a big improvement over season 2. The writers are mixing in some action and horror with it, I think that is the key.

The episode last night was rough. The actresses who played Lizzy and Carol both did a fantastic job. I kind of wish that the girls stuck around, or at least Mika. It is a little annoying that Rick's kids get to live while all other children die. I was hoping Mika could have become a female Carl. I also wondered if they could have given Lizzy what she wanted and let her becone a walker.

Also I'm glad they finally picked up an Ergo or something for the baby. There's no way you can walk around too long holding a critter like that. If nothing else, they tend to get squirmy. (She's on Tyreese's back at the end when they leave the house... I had to go back and check to be sure.)

that was so intense. i know we're all thinking, "lizzie was psychotic-- why'd they leave her alone w/ the other two?" but i think it's just one of those things where an unexplainable tragedy hits and one of the many reasons it's so terrible is you didn't see it coming. i mean, they have so many other vital things to be considering: food, shelter, traveling, children to care for, walkers approaching; it seems inconsiderate to ask them to imagine the unthinkable in retrospect (i'm not saying y'all are, i'm just making the argument). there carol was, talking about how the good in people can be their own downfall and carol's good-- believing that lizzie would care for her sister and judith-- was what destroyed mica and then lizzie.

it hit even harder for me when carol and tyrese were sitting in front of the puzzle by themselves that evening. there was so much life and hope in that same living room the night before just because two little girls were in it; their absence created the same void their presence once filled.

Of course not. Anyone with any sense would know that putting up signs inviting people over would attract people like the marauders Daryl is with. It would just take too many resources to weed people like that out, even at a neutral location. They could act sweet as pie, but turn on you later.

Then, there is scarcity of resources of all kind.

So, the question becomes, why would they want to attract people, if not for some nasty purpose.

What nasty purpose could people in that world have? Everything is about food, water, weapons and other resources.

The least nasty motive is to attract people to a neutral location so you could rob them blind.

It has to be a cannibal place, right? That creepy cheery woman grilling stuff, and they made a big show out of the fact that there is no security, no people running around, and a ton of food growing.

Why eat people? Everyone else seems to be finding canned goods and wild game -- both of which would be a lot less dangerous than luring armed people to kill them --- not to mention getting all of their diseases if you eat them.
